Police have also taken the mother of the deceased girls into custody for questioning. A police official said that during subsequent questioning, the mother of the deceased girls took the blame entirely on herself while trying to exonerate her husband. The woman has told the police that she killed both her daughters as they used to “elope often”.
She said she first killed the elder daughter followed by her younger daughter. However, police are suspecting that the woman was concocting the story in a bid to save her husband.
